is the lake district. we're lost. >> no, we're not. nature has a way of showing us where we are. come on--you just got to learn to read the signs. [bert groans] >> ah, here we go. [clanging] [water runs] >> ah! [fly buzzes] >> ah. right. base camp. this

would be a good spot to pitch our tent, don't you think? >> all looks the same to me. >> yeah, to the untrained eye. ah. ah, that hits the spot. >> sorry, but when did you undergo a full woodland survival course? >> i remember from the scout camp. >> yeah. >> right, we should start by clearing the area of any debris and begin collecting wood and bracken to start a fire. bracken--i don't see any dry bracken. >> i think we'd be better off trying to find our way out of here. i don't fancy spending my entire weekend lost in the woods. >> yeah, we've only been here a couple of hours, it's my stag weekend, and i say we pitch tent here, ok? i know what i'm doing. i know exactly what i'm doing. ah! oh-oh! ah! ah! oh, oh. ah. >> mark, that was a snake! did it bite you?

[mark chuckles] you all right? >> whew. >> oh, no. >> adders aren't lethal, are they? >> i don't know. >> nah. just pop my shoe back on and we can keep going. >> keep going? we don't even know where we are! >> al, you're panicking. in a military situation-- >> wait--hey, it's not a military situation, is it? >> i'm not going to let a little setback like this ruin my stag party. [mark vomits and gags] >> ah. look, maybe i should call pauline, ok, to contact the doc, hey? >> oh. i thought you were going to leave the phone in the car. >> well, it's just as well i didn't listen to you, isn't it? reception's rubbish here. i'm going to have to move to find some, ok? >> ok. you should sing so i know where you are. >> sing? >> yeah. uh--that song from "titanic"?

>> what about, um, "grand old duke of york"? >> ok. >> i'll be back in a minute. yeah. ♪ oh, the grand old duke of york he had 10,000 men ♪ >> i'll just keep an eye on base camp, yeah? >> ♪ he marched them up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again and when they were up they were up but when they were down >> they were down and when they were really halfway up >> they were neither up or down >> up or down ♪ >> that's good. that'll do. >> you're all right, jack. >> you'll be all right, jack. just-- >> i'm glad you were here. >> well, that makes a change, i suppose. >> well, of course i'm glad. no-- >> doc! doc? al. it's important. >> al?

>> doc, it's al. we're in-- >> slow down, al. i can't hear you. >> yeah. yeah, it's mark. he's been bitten--i think it was an adder. hello? >> hello? >> what? >> where are you? >> he was bitten and then he was sick. >> do you mean he vomited? make sure he lies on the ground--i'll get an ambulance out there. tell me where you are. >> uh--we're--we passed the lake opposite west point maybe five or 10 minutes before we came into the woods. i don't know. >> al, how can i get an ambulance to you if i don't know where you are? >> ah. we're somewhere in the woods, doc. i don't know, but he needs help. >> fine, i'll just have to find you. make sure he lies completely still--he could've suffered an allergic reaction. how's his breathing? any tightness in his chest or dizzi-- [doc's voice fades out] >> doc? doc, he needs help! >> al? al! damn! uh--i need to get to west point. >> oh, i don't know how you get there, actually, but-- >> it's about 40 minutes from here. why? >> mark mylow's been bitten by

a snake in the woods near there. >> stewart--stewart can help. he's the ranger for that area. >> to be honest, i'd rather not be guided by someone whose best friend is a six-foot squirrel. >> he may be short a few sandwiches, but if anyone knows that area-- >> yeah, well, i better tell julie. >> all right, you go get stewart's number and i'll go to mrs. tishell and get some more adrenaline pens. >> well, you stopped singing. >> doc says you should stay still. >> yeah, well, i'm sick again. >> i know. that's not good, is it? >> hi, doc.

>> hello, stewart. >> we in a hurry? >> yes. >> according to al, he's about 10 minutes past the lake and west point. you know where that is? >> uh, yeah, yeah. so mark has finally found his fair maiden then, eh? i always had him down as one of those mail-order bride types. >> stewart, you know it's possible that mark suffered an allergic reaction to this snake bite. >> doesn't sound like much fun. >> he could go into anaphylactic shock which would be the second case i've had today. if he does, he's got about 30 minutes to live so, no, i don't suppose it is that much fun. >> hold on to your stethoscope, doc. [car accelerates]

>> officer dibble give you anything more precise than the lake opposite west point? >> no. >> well, there's a lot of trees out there, but we'll find him. >> and how are you, stewart? haven't seen you for a while. still taking your medication? >> spend most of my days by myself, bit like solitary confinement really. just me and my thoughts, week in, week out. it's wonderful. >> and what about your friend--what's his name? the big squirrel? >> come on, doc. i don't see atterly anymore. >> huh. that's good. sounds like you made a complete recovery. >> yeah, i threw him out. he was taking me for granted.

>> i wonder if julie felt anything. they say when--when people have a connection, sometimes they feel what the other one feels. >> you're not twins. >> she's probably at home now, looking at wedding catalogues. >> you really love her, don't you? >> yeah. >> yeah. whirlwind romance, eh? >> i know everyone thinks i'm rushing into it, but i don't. it's like when i used to finish work, go home, watch some telly till i just fell asleep. now i get to watch it with her. it's different--better. >> huh. [bird caws]

>> haven't been out this way in a while. bit of a problem with poachers taking up a lot of my time. it's war, doc. slashed the tires on this the other week. ah, ah, ah, ah! huh! so much for the quiet life, eh? >> hmm. >> i don't like this. >> hmm? >> i don't like this anymore. we should go. >> mark? mark, we should just wait for the doc. hey, stay there. come back, mate. come on, come back. trust me, it's going to be ok. >> ow. >> i'll look after you. >> ow. you can't even look after yourself, al. >> actually, yes, i can. i'm sick of people assuming that i can't. if anything, it's been me that's been looking after dad so you either shut up, lie

still, or you can say you're going without me. >> thanks. >> no problem. >> well, the cloud's coming in, isn't it? yeah--where did you get your suit from, by the way? did you--is that off-the-peg or did you have that fitted? because, i mean, it's a long time since a ranger wore a suit on this job, of course. oh, and they do this thing in the offices, don't they-- dress-down friday? i mean, some of the rangers want to bring it in, but i mean, what's the point? they live in the middle of nowhere. dress in their own clothes--they can do that any time they like. i tell you what, that's likely five minutes from the lake and west point. of course, we are driving a little bit faster than mark would have driven, you know? he strikes me as the type who's more of a cautious driver. >> stewart, you're talking a lot. >> really? oh. sorry, i'm not used to the company, i suppose. [stewart chuckles] actually, there was that fork in the road back there, wasn't there? uh--are you a fan of frost at all, you know? "the road less traveled" and all

that? >> no. >> i mean, essentially with moors this large and suddenly different woodlands, well, we could travel around for a week and we still wouldn't find them, you know? it's your classic needle in a haystack situation basically. >> there they are. >> oh, right, great, fantastic. did we do it? [horn honks] [honking] >> this is recent--maybe today, maybe yesterday. do al or mark smoke? >> no. >> it's the bloody poachers. i knew it--this is getting out of hand. >> stewart, we don't have time for this. >> i mean, i've beaten a tactical retreat, you know, surrendered some territory. but that's only to confuse them. >> why do you need a shotgun? >> well, don't worry, doc--it's not loaded.

>> mark! al! >> i'll have to try and find reception. don't even think of moving, eh? >> don't forget your singing. >> ♪ oh, the grand old duke of york he had 10,000 men he marched them up to the top of the hill ♪ [phone rings] it's the doc! mark, it's the doc! i told you it'd be all right. yes, doc? doc? >> i'm with stewart, the park ranger. we just don't know what direction you're in. try

shouting. >> doc! >> try again. no, we're still not close enough. how's mark getting on? >> he's been sick again. >> oh, that's not good. >> and he's pale and sweating. >> no, that's not good, either. >> we should make a move, doc. >> no, don't move him. you'll know if he's getting worse--his tongue and his face will swell and he'll stop breathing and he'll die. al? al! bugger. >> well, i hope we don't have to cancel the wedding--the church is booked and everything. >> if you're worried about your deposit, you can always switch to a funeral. >> sorry. you know, i'm--i'm just--i'm going out of my mind about mark. [ringtone plays] >> doc? oh--is that bad? there's no need to shout. >> tell him we can get the whole village up there if necessary and that we can organize a search party.

>> we can get the whole village up there if necessary. >> no, that'll take too long. mark doesn't have that much time. just keep trying al--when you get through to him, tell him to stay where he is then you call me. now, where are we going? >> this way--i think. oh, oh! >> stewart. >> be careful. >> if you get us lost-- >> ah--i won't get us lost. look, i know where we've come from. we're methodically sweeping through the areas. i used to do this sort of thing in the army all the time. you'd think they'd know better, wouldn't you? >> who? >> the poachers. i mean, if i was going to tangle with someone, i wouldn't choose a former member of her majesty's armed forces. [stewart chuckles] >> right. >> we're out of here. we're not going to wait for the doc. ah.

portwenn has to be roughly to the south here, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which makes--well, it's 3:00--which makes the van that way. what do you think, mark? mark? mark? >> she will turn to me--itchy-- julie. >> do you hear that? >> no, i didn't hear it-- >> shh! there--that. >> al! no, i didn't hear anything. >> it's the poachers. i'm sure of it. they're waiting for us. you know we should take the offensive, catch them off-guard. >> no. stewart, we have to find mark! >> mark will be fine. this is england--people don't die in the woods. >> stewart, focus! which direction is mark in? >> i'm trying to apprehend criminals here. he--he's a

policeman! he'd want that! >> stewart, which way? >> that way! >> thank you! >> tosser. >> mark, you all right? >> we--get to the doc. >> i know, mark, but we might not have time to find the doc. we're going to get you to a hospital and they can fix you up. come on, mark, stay with me. talk to me, mate. tell me something--tell me about julie. >> she's--she's got a smile. >> she's got a what? >> oh! >> oh. sorry, mate.

>> she's got a smile-- >> what? [rustling] listen. hello? >> hello! >> who's there? >> it's me--stewart! >> stewart, come out here. oh, oh. where's the doc? >> hi, mark. me and the doc got--well, we got split up. >> oh! >> hey, you know we're not alone, don't you? there's poachers everywhere. >> stewart, come here. look at him--look at him! he is going to die, and you are the only man around that can save him. now, where is the doc? >> well, i mean, we came from that way so logically the doc must be-- >> oh. >> yeah--somewhere else! i mean, it's just a process of elimination really. >> stewart, where's the doctor? where did you last see him?

>> yeah--that way! >> give me a hand--come on. come on. come on, mark! stay with me, mate! not long to go! come on, mate! what about julie? >> oh!

>> mark! al! [phone rings] al. >> it's me. still nothing on al. >> look, get off the phone then. al! >> where the hell are they? >> i need a cup of tea. anyone else? >> no, thanks. >> ok.

>> she's taking this well. [al groans] >> come on. >> so, basically just keep going straight. when you get to the clearing, turn left. >> no, listen, that's no good. you're going to have to go out and get the doc. i can't move him fast enough. >> what, me? >> yes, you! >> well, can't you do it? >> oh. >> i mean, it's not as if mark's going anywhere, is it? [stewart laughs] >> just-- [stewart sighs] >> you know he never invited me to the wedding, don't you? >> oh. >> i mean, it's fine, you know? i'm busy, i couldn't have made it anyway.

>> checkmate. hey, you! put your hands where i can see them! >> stewart? >> don't move! i mean it! don't take another step or you'll be in a world of pain! >> stewart, don't shoot me! >> what? all right, yeah, the--this, yeah, sure, but the--down at your feet! poacher traps--they're everywhere! >> oh. thank you. >> good news! i found mark, by the way. >> well, where is he? >> uh--well, don't worry. i've memorized the route. ah!

ah-ha-ha! >> come on. >> ooh. oh, god, i can't--oh, i can't believe i did that. [stewart chuckles] i've never done that before. ha-ha--they're really strong! ha-ho--they really hurt! >> ok. when i say so, pull your leg out. >> ah. >> all right--ah! >> ah! >> ah! oh! >> are you all right, doc? doc? >> oh! >> are you ok? do you want me to help? >> no! all right, help! >> ok. let's not have any more mishaps. >> all right, on my count-- >> ok. >> one, two, three-- [doc groans] >> ah! ah! ah! ah! don't--ah! ah! >> ah! >> that was a good one. that was a good one! [al groans]

>> doc! stewart! ah! whoo. all righty, dear, all right. >> oh. ah. this is really tingling a bit. >> stewart! doc! >> al! >> oh, doc. doc! doc! >> stewart, can you finish that off? >> ah--ha! ah, ah! oh! >> mark? can you hear me? mark! all right, come. i need to get to his shoulder. >> ah, sure. ok. all right.

>> ah--doc. i knew you'd show up. >> you're very lucky, mark. >> that's 'cause i'm getting married. >> yes, mark. oh, i'll take mark in the police car. >> i haven't got them. >> what? >> the keys. >> better look after the wedding rings, eh? i don't think you could be trusted. >> well, then why don't you all pile into mine? >> stewart. al. >> someone else will have to drive. >> all right.

>> hon, i was so worried about you. >> i'm sorry. just a bit of harmless fun. and i just start--started straggling in and all about. >> yeah. >> oh! haven't been to portwenn in a while. think i might pop into town, check out the--actually, no, it's too many people. i think i'll go back out. >> stewart, i need to redress your wound first. >> oh, right! >> yeah. >> ok. can i watch the telly? >> uh, yeah--mark? i have to check you over, then you take him home. come on. >> come on, i'll make you a cup. >> oh, here, doc. i think i need to see about my back again. it's gone, you know? >> join the queue, mate. >> right you are. >> you haven't been fixing things in the flat again, have you? >> don't worry, son.

everything's under control. >> remember what i said--just the boxes? >> now, look, boy--ah. it might be that you might have to stay with me for a couple of nights, that's all. >> so, did you have a good time then? >> oh, yes, yes. plenty of fresh air, man traps, poisonous snakes--all quite charming. >> i was--well, i was worried. >> so was i, yeah. his condition was almost--well, it was--it was critical, yeah. >> no, i know. i mean that i was worried about you. >> doc? >> in a minute, stewart. >> well, it's just--just--well, i am sort of dripping blood all over your floor. >> oh. um--excuse me. sorry. >> yeah. i'll-- [captioning made possible by friends of nci] [captioned by the national captioning institute

( shutters click ) ( gasps )

do be careful, therese. no sign of therese? late again, i shouldn't wonder. i'll go. therese? therese? therese! therese! therese!

♪ what the...? oy! out! c'mon, shoo! out! out! come on, or it'll be roast chicken for dinner and i won't be gentle with the stuffing! ( squawks )

morning. did you sleep with your door open? it's the only way i can get a through-draft in this godforsaken sweatbox. eyes on you, sir. keep walking. ugh. charming. you're here early. there's been a fire at le couvent du sacre-coeur. ah, ah, ah-- english, please. my house, my rules. the convent of the sacred heart. a postulant nun has died from smoke inhalation. oh, really? cause of the fire? according to the fire department, it was started by a cigarette. the nun was smoking in her cell. ( chuckles ) the proverbial smoking nun, eh? excuse me? nothing. typical caribbean, though. even the nuns are laid back. oh, don't you think that's odd? a nun that smokes? listen, on this island, i wouldn't be surprised if she was making sangria with the communion wine. she was a woman of god. behind their saintly exterior, nuns have a heart of stone. appearances can be deceptive. yes, indeed.

welcome. good day. are you okay? yeah, fine. can i help you? i'm detective sergeant camille bordey, this is detective inspector poole. i'm still in shock. poor therese. if only i could have got there sooner. what do you mean? i discovered the fire. ( coughing ) her door was locked, so father john broke it down. through the smoke, we could see her lying on her bed, head on her pillow. it was just like she was asleep. let's get her out of here. quickly! oh, therese! i tried to revive her, but it was no use.

i'm sure you did everything you could. father john had better be our first port of call. of course. it's hit him quite hard. like all of us. we're like a little family here. i'll show you the way. ( dialing ) i keep saying to myself, "keep busy, keep busy." yes, of course. it, uh, must be a shock. father, forgive the question, but is it usual for the nuns here to smoke? you have to understand, therese was a postulant nun. she'd been here less than six months. she hadn't taken holy orders yet. postulancy being a sort of trial period before you actually commit yourself? exactly, and it's a big transition to make-- giving up nearly all contact with the outside world. no possessions, no money, but the cigarettes--

( splashes ) oh... we knew it was a struggle for her. and she always smoked when she was upset. it seems odd that she didn't wake up when the fire started. that's another tragedy. she took sleeping pills, you see. found it hard to sleep. and where did she get the pills? sister marguerite, whom you met outside just now. she runs the infirmary here. she's a trained nurse. did you notice anything suspicious this morning? anything unusual? unusual? out of the ordinary? well, not this morning, but i haven't seen her... but some of the nuns came to me saying they'd seen some sort of phantom nun. a phantom nun? a person who is not a sister in the convent, but dressed as one. sorry to interrupt. i-- i didn't know you had company. this is sister anne, our mother superior. father, what a mess!

i'm always clearing up after him. i just came to see how you were. she's with our lord and savior now. you know that, father. bury your sadness in his loving heart. camille: ( clears throat ) father john was just telling us about your, uh, "phantom nun"? stuff and nonsense. so, you haven't seen her? of course not. she doesn't exist. father john seems very tired now. perhaps i could help you instead? i'm not made of stone. i do my grieving in private. i need to keep myself together. god is in the detail and the details need my attention, death or no death. even with the holy spring. holy spring? the convent has water that is said to heal, sir. they do heal, my dear. and it's getting quite famous now, isn't it?

yes, people are coming from all over in hope of a cure. even canada. so people cast aside medical science to come and splash themselves with water? ah, a cynic. call me old fashioned, but i simply have a healthy respect for scientific proof. proof enough for you? i was diagnosed with cancer in 2010. i drank of the waters. i bathed in the waters. by last year i was cancer-free and have been ever since. living proof, you might say. might help that rash of yours. father john said you tried to unlock therese's door. yes, i think she must have locked it because she was smoking in there-- she knew we'd disapprove. i couldn't get my key in the lock because hers was inside. tried to force my key into the lock... right, you go and talk to the other nuns. ask them about the discovery of the fire and this so-called phantom nun. i'll join fidel in the cell. you sure you'll be all right on your own? i'll be fine. are you coming?

i'll pray for you. so what was she like, this therese? she was young. only 18. brought up in an orphanage in france. i'm afraid she picked up some bad habits. ( chuckles ) bad habits. nuns. habits? what sort of bad habits? alcohol, chewing gum, those cigarettes of hers. i said to her, "they'll kill you one day." i tried to come down hard on her, but... i shouldn't say this, but father john had a bit of soft spot for her. in what way? well, he allowed her things to "facilitate the transition". i have errands to run. can i help you with anything else? uh, no, no, that'll be all, thank you.

nuns. they're just creepy, aren't they? all this for a cigarette. or was it? therese was found with her head on the pillow, as if she'd been asleep, right? right. well, if her head was on her pillow and she was lying flat on her back, how come the fire started at this end of the bed? so, what are you saying, sir? i'm saying she didn't smoke the cigarette that killed her. then who did? no one. someone planted it to make all this look like an accident. but... ( chuckles, clears throat ) who would want to murder a nun? anyone who'd seen the sound of music more than once? no, sir, it's impossible. she was in here alone. look, the window is sealed, right? and the door was locked, but from the inside. you see? the key is still in the lock. no one could have got in here to start a fire and back out again. and what about this? she had cigarettes in her room. that just proves she was a smoker. we already knew that. this mattress is old-- pre-any kind of fire regulation. the smoke would've killed her in minutes.

i think the killer knew that. but how did they get in? and out again. if you're going to make sergeant, fidel, you're gonna have to learn to think outside the box. or in this case, think outside the cell. oh, for christ's sake. fidel, i want you to conduct a thorough forensic search. pay particular attention to the door. okay. i'll start by dusting for prints. good. so, dwayne, we're gonna need exclusion prints from the sisters and father john. yes, sir. then you can help fidel complete the search in here. i want every inch covered. camille wants you outside. says she has something you have to see. this? this is what i had to see? the water is said to be miraculous. ooh. i don't suppose it removes gum? sir.

holy water? there's no such thing as holy water. look. look. see? no miracle. still there. and just to clear this up, this is heat-related psoriasis, not a stigmata. sister. elodie. sister marguerite now. of course. how are you? i'm fine. well, apart from... yes. it's so terrible. but i'm determined to be strong. you have to be at times like these. i learned that the hard way. of course you did. but enough about me. i suppose you're married now?

children? no. still young, free, and single. well, free and single, at any rate. ( chuckles ) dip your thumb in the ink for me. there's nothing to worry about. we just have to eliminate certain prints from the inquiry. good to see you again, elodie. suspects? any prints? it's hard to get much, sir. there are partial prints on therese, but there's nothing else on the lock and key. how about the cigarette packet we found in the room? no, there were no prints there at all. making it very unlikely they were her cigarettes.

must have been planted in the room. i spoke to the sisters at the convent about the phantom nun like you said. and could she walk through walls? unseal windows? no, but some of them said they'd seen a figure walking about the convent who wasn't one of them. well, was it vaguely human? okay, what is it with you and nuns? hey! look what i found when i did the final sweep of therese's room. it was hidden behind a loose panel in her cell. it's just like the count of monte cristo. like what? a secret hiding place in a prisoner's cell-- only his was behind a loose stone in the fireplace. have you read the book? no. no, no, we tended to concentrate on the classics at school. dickens, trolloppe, eliot... it is a classic. yeah, in france. slightly different. ah. a one-way ticket to france, leaving next week. looks like our prisoner was planning to escape. what's that? a printed list of names and numbers.

any of them mean anything to you? no. dwayne, we need to find the people on here-- find out what connection they had to therese. look. another packet. but these are a different brand to the ones we found in her room. now, why would she hide one packet and not the other? because, as i thought, the other packet was planted. gum. but this is unopened. then where did the gum come from that was stuck to my shoe? another old packet? yeah, but why be so careless? i mean, she knew gum was frowned upon. why just leave it on the floor? maybe she was going to pick it up in the morning. she couldn't have known someone was going to murder her. don't forget, she was just a teenage girl, after all. "if you speak, i will silence you. vengeance is mine. i will repay." romans 12, verse 19. a teenage girl who knew too much? ( knocks on door ) it's been such a shock for all of us, and i just wondered if you wanted to talk.

when i need to talk, i talk to the lord. which was what i was doing when you knocked, so... of course, reverend mother. forgive me. anything back on that list of names? maybe one of them wanted therese silenced for some reason. dwayne? nothing yet, chief. remember, therese often slept late because of sleeping pills administered by sister marguerite. you think maybe she upped the dose to ensure she slept through the fire? no, it was elodie who tried to save her. elodie? sorry-- sister marguerite. she changed her name when she took holy orders. the lengths women will go to avoid you, dwayne. it wasn't like that. we used to hang out, fool around-- you know. but her parents died when she was 21. motorboat accident. she never got over it. then, not long after, she joined the convent.

you think she can be happy? you mean, without you? dwayne, she married christ. you could never compete-- not with the miracles and the father-in-law. ah, but does he have my killer smile? okay. thank you. okay, thank you. the plane ticket we found in therese's box was paid for in cash a week ago by a michael lannon. he bought two tickets to paris-orly-- one for therese and one for him. right, so they were planning to leave the island together. good work, camille. right, then, who is michael lannon? check all residents with that name, all passenger lists in and out of sainte-marie. i want him found. i've put the word out on michael lannon. if he's on the island, he won't be able to stay hidden for long. good. so, come on... what is it with you and nuns?

what? you've been strange all day. you nearly jumped out of your skin when sister anne entered father john's office. she just startled me, that's all. look, i don't want to talk about it. it's something in your childhood, isn't it? catholic school, altar boy... look, if you must know, the house mother at my boarding school was a nun. sister benedict. imagine geoff capes in a wimple. geoff who? it doesn't matter. anyway, she used to terrorize us with spot checks day and night. nails, teeth, underpants... underpants? i still have nightmares where i wake up seeing her mole-ridden face in mine... sir-- you know, she had this slipper-- she used to beat us. sir. i had thighs like corned beef for almost my entire childhood. i know what you're gonna say! they're brides of christ. but some of them are bad, through and through. they are evil! sir!

don't worry. i didn't bring my slipper. hi. everything all right? yes. there's just something i forgot to tell you about last night. sister marguerite said therese was afraid of something outside this bar. yes, it was funny. what was it she saw? not what, but who. daryl dexter. a businessman... but no one can tell me what sort of business he's in. but why would a nun be scared of him? or even know him? do you know where he lives? ( music plays, people chatter ) uh, excuse me. uh, we're looking for mr. sexter. dexter. dexter. so, nuns and girls in bikini make you nervous. or is it just women in general?

women don't make me nervous. good god. ( clears throat ) mr. dexter? detective inspector poole. this is detective sergeant bordey. detectives. glad you could make it. um, would you excuse us for a moment? sorry, we're investigating the death of a young woman-- perhaps we can discuss any business you have in private? i'd appreciate that. this way. i'm sure there's some mistake. why would anyone be scared of me? but we have a witness who says she was scared when she saw you. very scared. then your witness is mistaken. did you know therese-- the girl who was killed? not personally, no. but i barely go up to the convent. just the odd meeting. what kind of meeting? sorry, i thought you knew. i run a pr company. i've just taken them on as clients. since when do convents need pr?

since they discovered they have a holy spring. it has the potential to transform their fortunes. how so? the amount of revenue this could generate for the convent could be quite phenomenal. for a price. a percentage. that's what this little get-together is in aid of. to stimulate initial interest. and there's talk about the holy spring being sanctified by the vatican. now, if that happens, the sky's the limit. does the name "michael lannon" mean anything to you? can't say that it does, no. and do you recognize any of these names? we found them in therese's room. no. are you sure? take your time. look, i know you're only doing your job, but i'm trying to do mine, and this isn't exactly good for business. so, if you don't mind... that man is obsessed with money. and promoting a holy spring with women in bikinis?

i wonder what sister anne would say. do not mention bikinis and sister anne in the same sentence. conjures up a very powerful image. hang on. whoa, whoa. what? i saw a photo of that woman on his desk. i think i know her from somewhere. you know her like that? drive. yeah. so, daryl dexter is suspect number one. he obviously knew therese. why else would she be scared of him? yes, he lied about knowing her, so what does he have to hide? maybe he and therese were lovers. maybe he's the michael lannon who bought the plane tickets. i haven't found anyone of that name on the island yet. but daryl has a lover, remember? the woman we saw at the villa. doesn't mean he can't have another one. yes, but if they were lovers, why was she so scared of him during the procession? maybe she was going to tell his girlfriend about their relationship.

so he sent the threatening letter to silence her? it's rubbish, isn't it? any joy on that list of names? maybe there's a connection to daryl dexter there. fidel's on the case. something else came up here. i've just spoken to the orphanage in strasbourg where therese grew up. they say she wasn't a religious girl. quite the opposite, in fact-- boys, drugs, petty theft. so, not the obvious candidate to join a convent. ( chuckles ) ah, but that's not all. when i was looking for their telephone number, i went onto the orphanage website. they have a gallery going back through the years and had photographs of their celebrations for the pope's visit to strasbourg in 1988. therese wasn't born in 1988. it's not therese. sorry to disturb you, father. ah-- part of your pr campaign? i met daryl dexter earlier.

i know people doubt his motives, but with his help, i'm sure we can save the convent. save it? well, each year, costs rise, donations dwindle. you mean your future here is in doubt? in this house, yes. there's talk of it being sold. many old convents are turned into hotels these days. of course, the nuns can find homes in other convents. i'm sure the church can find a home for me somewhere. yeah, uh-- where were you before here? oh, many places. lyon, limerick, ghana. strasbourg? i was a priest there, many years ago. attached to the orphanage where therese spent her childhood. but, um, you didn't think to tell us that? i didn't think it was relevant. it's 20-odd years ago. i was long gone before she was there. and also, it was a difficult time. i don't want to go into it. well, i'm sure the diocese in strasbourg can tell us.

old sins make long shadows, isn't that what they say? ah. ginette pascal. for once, i was just a man, not a man of god. i would have left the priesthood for her, but the church found out. they didn't want a scandal, and so i was sent away. not that it stopped the sisters here finding out. oh, the orphanage told one of my officers that therese wasn't a religious girl. so, why did she want to become a nun? she'd spent her whole life inside an institution and quite simply didn't know how to exist outside of one. a prisoner? of sorts. even to the extent that she hid things in her cell? we found a box-- hidden behind a secret panel. like the count of monte cristo. quite.

ah, great minds. you thought you'd get an early start, too? yes. what's that? ah, your count of monte cristo. ah! and? quite a man. but most importantly, it got me to thinking about locked cells and how you get through solid walls. well, edmund dantes used a tunnel. yes, but we found no tunnel. so, how else could someone get out of a locked room after starting the fire? anyone from the convent would've known the place like the back of their hand. yes, speaking of which... still waiting on that miracle.

father john-- he didn't mention the orphanage connection. he didn't know her back then. yeah, but we know he had an eye for the ladies. maybe therese was his lover. his motive to kill her? she threatened to expose the affair? he couldn't survive a second scandal? but daryl dexter is still our main suspect. he lied about knowing therese, and she was terrified of him. ah, yes, but he didn't have access to the nuns' living quarters. how could he have got in to start the fire unnoticed? maybe he is the phantom nun? hmm. did you look into sister marguerite's family's deaths? yes. no suspicious circumstances. also, the autopsy report is back. sleeping pills were found in therese's system, but no more than the prescribed dose. sister marguerite did not drug her. yeah, she's still first on the scene, though. could she have done something to the lock? is there is a way to trip it, do you think? or could someone maybe have turned the key from the outside somehow to lock it? breakthrough.

we've spoken to all the people on the list of names you found in sister therese's room. and? they were all cured by the waters of the holy spring. cured? i find that hard to believe. no, no, they all swear it. except one. bomba dupuis. an old drunk. lives by the port. and after a couple of rum punches courtesy of the sainte-marie police force-- wait, wait, wait. are you saying you got a potential witness drunk? he said he was paid to say he was cured. $200. so therese was paying people to endorse the holy spring. no. not therese. daryl dexter. thank you for seeing us. no problem. can i get you a drink? something fizzy? no, thank you. oh. you don't mind if i do? not at all. it was really daryl we wanted to see. oh, well, he's off on business, i'm afraid. what's the nature of your relationship with mr. dexter? ( chuckles ) we're engaged. felicitation. it means congratulations.

i've been grinning like a school girl ever since he asked me. it's ridiculous at my age, i know. how involved are you in his business dealings? oh, very. we're a partnership. i'm very excited about the holy spring. you see, the pool might be in the convent, but i own the land where the spring finds its source. you own the land? yes, it was left to me many years ago. well, we thought it was worthless, but then a nun gets cured. and then others. i'm hoping to sell it to the vatican once the waters have been sanctified. at a great profit, i presume? well, certainly enough to keep me in, um, imported champagne. you are aware that a nun was found, at the convent, dead in her room? i know. isn't it dreadful? were you also aware that the same nun had discovered that daryl had been bribing people to make bogus claims

about being cured by the spring? well, i-- i really can't imagine that that's true. we have at least one witness. a witness? do you mind if i join you? i, um-- i've been trying to give up, but... yes, of course. i really should be good. look, can we get back to the bribes? bribes? look, are you implying that daryl and i are somehow involved in...? well, that's just ridiculous. i know exactly when the fire broke out in the convent, and i can tell you, daryl and i were together that morning. so, if you'd just like to, um, let yourself out... since when do you smoke? since i wanted to see whether laura smokes the same cigarettes we found in therese's room. and she does. good work. pardon? come on.
